[opensuse] openSUSE 11.2 - /media automount doesn't refresh automatically
List, Sorry, I'm not at my openSUSE pc, so my statements could be wrong or at least not well detailed. I would like to highlight the following behaviour, that I think be wrong: e.g. you run your VirtualBox and decide to mount the Guest additions ISO onto the guest machine, in this case openSUSE (whichever version) since on Ubuntu such problem is absent. If you do a ls -l /media then you will notice a lot of empty directories containing older name of versions of Guest addition ISO you previously mounted with latest renamed with an underscore symbol: version0 version0_ version0__ I guess this behaviour is wrong and it leads to errors since whenever you do a ls -l /media, you should get what is really mounted and available on your system instead to have a bundle of empty directories. I hope to have been satisfactorily clear.

I too see this and work around it by opening dolphin to get to the run file by migrating to the proper folder under /media. Hope this helps. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thank you Ken, BTW I use Gnome so I could give a try by Nautilus hoping its behaviour is the same as Dolphin, otherwise [hopefully] devs should pay more attention on this *not critical* issue.
